Authentic Indonesian Coffee at Giyanti Coffee Shop

As reflected by its name, when you firstly arrived at Giyanti, you would see the Balinese-themed decoration. My first impression for the service was perfect! By the time you arrived, a very friendly security would greet you and showed you the direction to the place. You had to pass a quite small alley, which was decorated with green wall. If I might say, the design of this coffee shop indeed made you feel like you were brought back to nature. Everything looked green, fresh, and bright! Surely a perfect place to start your day with a sip of coffee.

 

Similar to most coffee shops I have visited, the place was not that big. Giyanti provided indoor area as well as semi open-air area. I called it semi open-air as it was actually covered with semi-transparent ceiling. Although the semi open-air area was more spacious, I preferred to sit in the indoor one as it was air-conditioned and definitely cooler :p.

 

  

The service was really good as the waiter immediately greeted you and assisted you to find a seat by the time you entered the venue. You’d better come earlier in the morning if you were the one who did not really like crowd. Yes, there were so many people at brunch time and the seats were almost always fully occupied. Not only locals, so many foreigners did love to come here. Ok, back to the service, don’t feel hesitate to ask about everything served in Giyanti. The waiter was very knowledgeable and patiently answered all the details I asked about their foods and coffee.    

Besides coffee and several other hot beverages, Giyanti only served light sweet and savoury meals. If you were the ones who favored big portion for brunch, you did not need to worry as you had the option to order foods from Cali Deli and enjoyed them together with your coffee in Giyanti. They did provide the menu and you did not need to leave your seat to make your order.

Apple Pie (IDR 30k)

Lucky me that I was coming there at Saturday, since Giyanti only served its pies on this particular day. There were 3 choices provided; Apple pie, Beef pie, and Chicken & Mushroom pie. Unfortunately, all the savoury pies had been sold out at that time. So I had no option besides the apple pie.

However, I did not feel disappointed at all as the apple pie was really good! The pie crust was exceptional! I really loved the light and crunchy texture as well as the balanced-sweet taste. The filling was also great as it was generously given and the taste was awesome. If I had to add something to make it even better, might be it needed to be made less greasy.

Flamington (IDR 30k)

I ordered this one as I found it very unique. I had never eaten this cake before and even never found it in any other places. It was actually a dark-chocolate cake, filled in with other cake which I forgot what it was (apologize for this :( ), then covered by grated coconut. It was so moist, the sweetness level was just right, and the chocolate taste could be strongly tasted.  

Hot Mocha Latte (IDR 36k)

As Giyanti was really famous for their coffee, having a sip of it was a must here! If you were not really a coffee lover, you might prefer to have it mixed with other flavor like chocolate. Then, this Hot Mocha Latte perfectly suited you. This hot drink was surely an ideal blend of coffee, milk, and chocolate.

Hot Cappuccino (IDR 34k)

You might think that hot cappuccino was a very mainstream choice as you could easily find it everywhere. However, this one was distinctive. Made from special Indonesian coffee, this one must never be passed by any coffee lover. I thought I would better not giving too much comments on this and you would better give it a try A.S.A.P.

Besides what's provided on the menu, Giyanti also gave free treats for its guests. You could enjoy free banana and free cucumber infused water as much as you liked :))

All in all, if you said that you are a coffee lover, Giyanti is a must-visit one for you. You can find not only great coffee, but also warm service and cozy place. Just one last thing, please kindly note that it only opens on Wednesday to Saturday. So, what are you waiting for?
